Nothing, perhaps, can spoil a vacation at a summer cottage as much as insects, and besides insects – snakes.
Despite the fact that reptiles themselves are afraid of humans, they periodically appear on summer cottages, and some even live there. We will tell you how to protect your plot from snakes.
If the bastards are crawling onto your land, it means that the habitat there seems comfortable to them. At the very least, there is no shortage of food and there is a place to hide.
They will crawl away of their own free will only when the cold weather sets in.
How to fight
First, clean up the area and throw away or burn all the trash where snakes can settle. This could be building material, thickets of bushes, grass, etc.
Secondly, you need to start mercilessly fighting the rodents that snakes feed on, and to do this you need to get rid of food scraps and rotting fruit and vegetable vegetation in the garden and vegetable garden.
Third, create unbearable conditions for the reptiles.
What snakes don't like
The reptiles do not like the area where they cannot find shelter for themselves. They also do not like noise and vibration.
But even if the area is in perfect order, it is worth considering that snakes can hide under sheds and baths, especially if there are cracks or other openings that allow them to hide under the building.
It also wouldn’t hurt to install special repellents on the site, which are sold in gardening stores.
